Driving on Autopilot

Today, I was driving to a friend's house, a place I've been many times before, and I got lost. No, I didn't suddenly forget the way. I just forgot to think about what I was doing. My hands and feet drove the car, while my mind was off somewhere else.

When my mind returned, I was completely disoriented. It took awhile to figure out where I was and how to get back. Driving on autopilot happens to me fairly frequently, but if it occurs during my daily commute, I will end up at my desired location. My hands and feet know how to get to work and back, but no where else. It's a challenge being absent-minded.
